Oh very cool! I noticed StaticCompiler the other day but wasn't exactly sure how it fit in alongside PackageCompiler. The Discourse post answers that :-) Thanks for sharing! Want to dig in when I get a chance.

The StaticCompiler 90 package was recently registered. This post records a successful experiment to statically compile a piece of Julia code into a small .so library on Linux, which is then loaded from Python and used in training of a deep learning model.
